Winter nights in Dalat with 5 memorable experiences
Here are 5 suggestions to make your visit to the land of thousands of flowers truly unforgettable.
Stroll Through the Night Market
Transforming into a bustling hub, Dalat's night market becomes a rendezvous point for shoppers looking for clothes, exploring local cuisine, or simply strolling amidst the chilly air. Wander around the market and immerse yourself in the crowd of tourists enjoying specialties or purchase a scarf as a gift for your loved ones. It may seem simple, but this will be a memorable experience for you in Dalat's winter.
Indulge in Grilled Rice Paper and Soy Milk
These are two signature dishes that define the cold season in this land. There are many varieties of grilled rice paper with diverse fillings such as quail eggs, sausage, dried beef, cheese... Grilled over charcoal, once crispy and evenly cooked, you can fold it in half or enjoy it whole. Grilled rice paper is a popular delicacy recommended at Dalat market, or along Nguyen Van Troi street, at the intersection of Hoang Dieu - Tran Nhat Duat.... Each piece costs only 10,000 - 15,000 VND.
Hot soy milk is sold for 5,000 VND a cup everywhere in Dalat, in markets, along the streets, or even in the hotel where you stay.
Enjoy Coffee and Meet Fellow Travelers
If you're still unsure about tomorrow's itinerary or want to meet and chat with like-minded travelers, visit the Adventure Cafe. With a few simple tables, DIY corners, saws, drawings... it has become a place where travel enthusiasts and photographers stop by whenever they visit the misty city.
The cafe is located on Pham Ngũ Lão street, opened by two 80s guys, one an avid photographer traveler who has explored every corner of the country and a famous motorcycle enthusiast in Dalat. They are like living encyclopedias about Dalat and the Central Highlands provinces, enthusiastically sharing information and support whenever travelers need it.
Admire Dalat from Above with Dalat Nights
While wandering around Dalat during the day, in the evening, you can find a place to admire the enchanting and poetic land of flowers. The cafe sits atop the hill at the gateway to Dalat city, bordering the foot of Prenn Pass and the inter-provincial bus station.
On misty nights, looking down from above, the city lights twinkle in the fog like a dream. Order a hot cup of coffee, listen to gentle melodies, and gaze at the dreamy cityscape; that alone is enough to captivate you.
Capture Photos of the Night Flower Gardens
Names like Vạn Thành Flower Village, Thái Phiên... are very familiar with vibrant scenes during the day. At night, when the flower beds are lit up, seen from above, they resemble mesmerizing valleys of light. Venture out of downtown Dalat about 3 km, drive along the mountain pass, choose a stopping point, and capture the enchanting moments of the night flower gardens.
